Each venue will be closed for a full 7 day week, Monday through Sunday, reopening on a Monday. If it rains during this time some courts may be closed for a longer period.

The 2010 – 2011 Fall and Winter drop-in leagues were filled to overflowing thanks to all of the captains and avid tennis players. To make the 2011 – 2012 drop-in league season another smashing success a little help will be necessary. Several of the captains have stated that they won’t be returning in the fall as captains.

If you are a captain planning to return to that role in the fall or anyone else who is willing to take on the role of a captain of a drop-in league PLEASE contact me with your interest.

We ended the season at Desert Hills with four men’s doubles drop-ins, one men’s singles drop-in, one women’s 3.5+ doubles drop-in and one Saturday mixed doubles drop-in. At West we had one women’s doubles drop-in and one Saturday mixed doubles drop-in.

In the fall I would like to move all of the drop-in leagues to Desert Hills with the exception of the Saturday (Inga) mixed doubles drop-in that is already at West. Organized leagues with a players roster will continue to play at West.

Thanks for all of your support this past season and I look forward to seeing all of you on the courts in the fall.
